Windows 2008 Server crashed - How to find location of remote shared files that they used to access on remote web app?

We have a client that was running windows 2008 server. A previous IT person had setup their system, so we were walking into a situation where there were many unknowns. Server was mainly handling emails only, and we were able to get their exchange
database off and export PSTs to hosted exchange via microsoft.
Everything went fine with that, however one user said that he used to access files on the server via the remote web app as he described. He would go to the following url:
https://mail.theirdomain.com/remote/menu.aspx#
and he would use his login and then he would see several links to folders. He could then click on those and see his desired files.
We were able to get the server booted again, however we could not find any of the files he described on it at all, leaving me to suspect that perhaps this remote link was accessing another PC.
We have the old server up and running, however the link above is no longer active because we have pointed the domain to the new hosted exchange server. As I am still learning and my boss wanted me to research this on my own and figure out how to find
out where these files are located. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Just as a note I did try access mail.localhost.com/remote/menu.aspx# on the server but this did not work. Is there any way in the IIS 7 management console to figure out where this was pointing to?

I figured it out - The server was using sharepoint to host these files. I browsed localhost:987 and opened the sharepoint site locally on the server. They had several documents to be exported, however when clicking on Open in Explorer it was
giving an error that local client was not configured. I installed Desktop Experience and after that was able to open it in Windows Explorer and copy all files off.

How to find the contents of a file that is suddenly empty

I created a folder 2 months ago on the left hand side of the email under TRASH and then Under 2013. I have been loading it with emails (maybe 20-30 at last count) and all of a sudden the contents of the folder is gone. Once, when I clicked on it, it came back and I thought it was here to stay, but then everything in it disappeared again and I have not been able to find the contents for several days now. It is not in TRASH or 2013 - can't locate the emails anywhere. Just before this happened, it was no longer accepting emails from my inbox when I tried to transfer them over. I figured it had run out of space, and was ready to open a new file, but there is nothing there either. Any ideas?

If you logon to webmail account via a browser, can you see the missing folders and emails?

Windows 2008 Server R2 - Service Pack 1 Failed to install

A few nights ago I deployed Service Pack 1 for Windows 2008 Server R2 x64. The update failed to install after 3 attempts using the Windows Update manager. After the third time I checked the system properties which states that SP1 is
installed, yet it never appeared to install successfully as my other server machine had a prompt stating the SP was installed successfully.
In update history it shows the 3 failed attempts with no successes. This morning I began running into memory errors which are impacting my 2 VM Ware sessions which in turn lock up my virtual machine so I am going to attempt to remove and reinstall
to see if this corrects my issue. By the way what triggered the install of SP1 is random reboots of my server. This is that unknown Kernal Power Error which I have yet to resolve. Some months my server randomly reboots one time and other
months 4-5x. That is neither here nor there, the point of this discussion is to resolve SP1.
I have tried to remove SP1 by means of Control Panel, Programs and Features, Installed Updates. So it shows the that the SP1 installed in multiple areas yet in the install history no signs of successful installation.
When trying to uninstall from Program and Features/Installed Updates section in control panel it cycles through like its going to uninstall, but after several minutes I receive the following error      Windows Update
An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled.
When trying to uninstall from the command prompt (as administrator) "wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:976932" I get the following popup            Windows Update Standalone Installer
Installer encountered an error: 0x80073712       The component store has been corrupted.
Now if I try and install through the network installer file name "windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe" I get "Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 is already installed"
I performed these steps in the order mentioned which I came across this "System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Edition (KB947821) [February 2011]" After applying this hotfix I went through the same steps as mentioned above with the
exact same results.
It is unfortuante I did not come across this hotfix before I attempted install SP1 as it appears as if this would have prepared the system for SP1 installation. Currently I am in limbo with a corrupt installation of SP1 and so far no means of uninstalling
short of a reinstallation or repair of the OS which I am not willing to do at this point in time.
If anyone has any suggestions please chime in and let me know what I can try. Thanks for all the support and hopefully this post will help others in the future.

Maybe a little bit late, but I was running almost same problem on a exchange server.
Scenario:
First attempt to Update the windows patches - excluded the patches from the last 2 months.
I was kind a new to this, and didnt noticed that Windows Service pack must have at least 8GB free disk space.(Recommended)
So the C:\ partition had less then 5 GB free disk space, and I started the updates.
All went well until Windows SP1 begun running to downloading and installing.
When the installer noticed there wasnt enough space, It stopped, it give the status Failed, en when scaling up the C:\partition with another 10GB more space, the C:\partition had 18GB free disk space.
Tried to Call up a new attemp to install the SP1... but with no succes to start the SP1 installation...
I tried to reinstall but the windows update didnt get offered again to install again or resume or anything to try again...
Maybe...it is handy for Mickysoft, to check before installing, so the install wont get corrupted, and can install when c:\ partition has enough disk space.
What was the trick:
1) Stop the windows Update Service
2) C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore - Delete content
3) C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download - Delete content
4) Windows update Service check if its runs again
5) Check again for windows updates - Check if Windows Server Service pack 1 is offered, and install reboot and youre good to go.
It works for me :) hopefully after 3 years you had found a solution, but since I was poping for a solution and found this article with no solution.
I tought it will be hopefull for others to respond to this article with a solution.
Kind regards,
Alexander Tjintjelaar

Hi Gnittala,
Thanks for your reply.
I debug the javascript code in firebug on windows 8 and found that firefox would be not responding while executing "document.body.append(myPlugin)".
My javascript code is below:
function openLocalApp(cmdPath, cmdLine) {
var npMyPlugin = navigator.mimeTypes["application/mozilla-npruntime-scriptable-plugin"];
if (npMyPlugin) {
var myPlugin = document.createElement("embed");
myPlugin.style.visibility = "hidden";
myPlugin.type = "application/mozilla-npruntime-scriptable-plugin";
myPlugin.width = 0;
myPlugin.height = 0;
document.body.appendChild(myPlugin);
myPlugin.foo(cmdPath, cmdLine);
} else {
alert("Failed to create the plugin!");
And firefox plugin's source code copys from the following link:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/plugin/samples/npruntime/
Just changed a little.
I know the sample is very old, but newer proper sample couldn't be found. So if you can give me a newer sample, I'll appreciate.
Thanks again.

Error 0x80070490 trying to launch VM without SCVMM on Windows 2008 Server R2

Hello everybody,
I get a weird issue trying to launch a VM.
This is the current situation : I get a server, Windows 2008 R2. I've only install Hyper-V and Failover Cluster. I can create a VM but when I try to launch it, I get an error message into a popup (translated from french) : "The application encountered
an error during modification of 'vm_name' state". "'vm_name' could not be initialize". "Could not initialize machine remoting system. Error 'Element not found'. (0x80070490). "Could not find a usable certificate. Error: 'Element not found'. (0x80070490)."
So, I'm unable to launch my vm's.
I'm not using SCVMM yet. I want to resolve this issue before.
I read some articles and posts about SCVMM certificate issue but I'm not using SCVMM.
More fun, I read articles about this issue but on Windows 2008 Server (not R2) : problem resolved by a fix, unapplicable on my Windows 2008 R2 :)
I'm totalyblocked and ain't got no idea how I can resolve it.
If someone gets I idea ...
Cheers,
Nicolas

Environment: Windows 8.1 in an Active Directory Domain (2012R2) with MS Certficates Services support NAP/Health Registry, etc.

Windows 2008 Server on Sunfire V20z Server

I am looking to install Windows 2008 Server (Standard Edition) on a retired Sunfire V20z server. The box is totally raw - i.e. new drives with no OS. The problem is that the Win2008 install disc is a DVD and the V20z only has a CD-ROM drive. I purchased an external DVD USB drive, but the BIOS does not support booting from the USB. I'm thinking updating the BIOS to version 1.35.3.2, but I can't find any documentation that it even supports USB booting.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can install Win2008 server on this raw box?

Depending on what other resources you have to hand I'd use one of the following approaches. Note: I don't have a V20z but the following approach has worked on other machines which had no DVD drive.
Open the box and temporarily connect a slimline IDE DVD-ROM in lieu of the built in CDROM. I've found that while there is often a proprietary interface on the M/B the connection at the drive end can normally be dismantled and connected to another drive. I use one salvaged from an IBM P3 based Netvista.
or
Download the Microsoft WAIK and generate a Windows PE CDROM. Insert that into the CD drive and place the Windows 2008 DVD in the USB DVD drive. Boot the machine from the CD and then launch the Windows setup program from the USB DVD. The process for creating the Windows PE CDROM is straightforward and is covered in the Windows PE User's Guide as provided in the WAIK but here are the steps.
Launch the Deployment Tools Command Prompt and run the following commands ( for amd64 )
copype amd64 C:\winpe_amd64
copy c:\winpe_amd64\winpe.wim c:\winpe_amd64\ISO\sources\boot.wim
oscdimg -n -bC:\winpe_amd64\etfsboot.com C:\winpe_amd64\ISO C:\winpe_amd64\winpe_amd64.iso
Burn the resulting ISO to a CD.

Bank Statement management in SAP B1 on a VMWare Windows 2008 server

Hi everybody,
One of our customer is using a VMWare Windows 2008 server with SAP B1.
Actual version of Business One is SBO 2007A PL 00 PL 15 (SQL Server 2005).
Since the installation of this server using VMWare, we encouter problems using the SAP B1 Integration Platform for the process of the bank statements.
Everything including bank statements transfer was working very fine on a "real" server before new implementation.
When trying to open the Integration Platform Control Center on the server, we now receive the following message regarding JAVA.
"JAVA Virtual Machine Launcher : could not find the main class : program will exit."
JAVA is well installed on the VMWare server.
We have searched for a solution on the Web and it seems that JAVA and VMWare are not compatible. Does anybody have any information about that ?
Does anybody already have this problem with Integration Platfom on VMWare server ?
Is there a solution to our problem ?
Thanks for all your contributions.
Best regards.
Michel

Hi Michel,
First of all, your PL is too low. AFAIK, the first supported PL for 2007A SP00 is PL30. You may upgrade your PL first to see if that is a bug or not.
Thanks,
Gordon

Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

Hello,
I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
Then I follow this steps.
1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
4.- Choose network printer
5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13) I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
So, in select device type, I select "Standard" and "Generic Network Card" and click on Next
8.- Install printer driver -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
Many Thanks
Robert

Hi lespaul80,
1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
and check under network setup if subnet mask and def. gateway setup
also if you have DNS setup check it too
check if you have SNMP options - desable it
on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
Hope it help you

I am an HP employee.

Windows 2008 Server RC 2(64bit) ,Crystal Reports11.5 Compatbility Resolve?

Our company is moving to Windows 2008 Server RC2 64bit OS platform to run our reports. Will Crystal Reports 11.5 run on this OS platform? Right now it does not. Is there a resolution?

Actually it is supported, but because CR is a 32 bit app everything on the server must also be running in 32 bit modes. Other issue is CR XI R2 is past it's patch life cycle so if there are any issues we can't fix them. CR 2008 SP 3 should work fine as well as CR XI R2 SP 6, which does have Windows 7 support which is the same as Windows 2008 Server.
Check the link out for more info on what is and how to.
What is the actual problem you are having?
Thank you
Don
